"I see..." Kaname said. "Sorry, it just startled me is all." She said petting it slowly.

"It's not you", Natsuru said simply, "Pumpkaboo shouldn't have scared you. I deserved that one", she said with a smile, poking the Pokémon's pumpkin-like belly. "I'll let you out more often, sorry. I just didn't want to make you fight giant robots, and so much happened afterwards I didn't think of letting you out often enough. It's my bad."
She sighed.
"...You know, dad... I get that you want to protect me from harm. I know you wish to keep me from pain, and sadness, and fear. But... don't you think it should be the other way around, at least for a while?"
Natsuru smiled, putting her hand on Kaname's shoulder:
"You left with mom without telling me the truth about it because you were afraid of how I'd react to your decision. You spent years before that living in a body you didn't like, for various reasons that may not even be my business, but I suspect part of it is because you wanted to protect me from dealing with the pressure of your change. You have your own healing to attend to, and your own learning to appreciate life anew, as your real self."
She nodded.
"I don't need to be shielded from harm. There will be pain, sadness and suffering on my path as there is on everyone's, that's just life for you. But I can manage. I'm a Kämpfer. I'm almost 20, and more importantly, I'm your, and mom's daughter. How about you leave the worrying to me and my friends for a while?"
Natsuru tilted her head on the side, smiling playfully:
"Of course, you should still spoil me and shower me with love.♥ I am an only child after all." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5 stones into Social Skills (Kind-hearted, Feminine) plus 4 from Attractive, into convincing dad to worry less and let me deal with trouble when it comes. ^_^

"Just be careful. I don't want to outlive my daughter after all."
The words resounded in Natsuru's mind like a clap of thunder. Oh, how she wished Kaname had put it differently... She was ready for a lot of words, but not quite those ones. She actually remained silent for several seconds, not knowing what to say to that.
"......"
Eventually, she snapped out of it, but she was sure her dad had realized the strange pause.
"...Uhh... W-well, that's... kind of... not for us to decide, right?" She said, mentally facepalming at her own blunder. She had been willfully avoiding the subject of her earlier 'death' because her dad had seemed bit too fragile after her previous revelation to learn of it just then... but she was pretty sure there was no way Kaname had not noticed her awkward silence just then. She also realized her heart wasn't beating anymore, so she moved away from Kaname's hug a tad earlier than normal out of fear she'd find out by this, despite the slip-up she'd already made.
"...I... I don't want you to worry. I just want you to be happy... as your real, female self, and with mom. I'm... I'm not going anywhere, no matter what happens. I swear it. I'll always be your daughter... I'll always love you."

"I see..." Kaname says. "Well... Is there anything in particular you'd like to do now?" She asked.

"Anything in particular I'd...?" The girl repeated, glad that apparently, her dad hadn't caught on just yet. "You mean... right now, with you?", she smiled.
There was still plenty of time before the whole legions of the Scourge made their way North, especially considering she ordered them to move only at Night, and the fact they were basically across the world. She expected the largest part of the legions to have made it within a week, and for the rest to show up in the following two weeks. She'd meet up with her armies in a week... which meant she had several free days before then. She nodded:
"Well.. it's been a rough morning, but I'd still like to do something with you. I really hadn't planned on anything however, especially with all that happened... did you have something in mind?"

"Well... You're supposed to be sick. So how about just playing a game of catch in the backyard. You're not too girly to toss a ball around with your Dad are you?" She asked.

"Well... You're supposed to be sick. So how about just playing a game of catch in the backyard."
"...Actually", Natsuru clarified, "I told the lady at school I wasn't coming in for personal reasons. I'm a pretty good student, they won't find that strange or anything. My teacher is probably simply going to ask if I'm all right next time she sees me, or something. Still..."
"You're not too girly to toss a ball around with your Dad are you?"
Natsuru smiled with embarrassment as she remembered her past success at baseball when she was... well, still a 'he', for starters, and younger. Even as a male, he had always rather sucked at baseball. Of course, that was before he became a Kämpfer and got more experienced at fighting in general. Hand-eye coordination was but one of the many things that had improved ever since.
"...Funny you'd say that... girls always kicked my ass at baseball back when I was a guy", she said sighing. "B-but yeah, sure. I'm not too girly to throw a ball around with my dad... if she's not", she responded, smirking.

"Good, grab your glove, and shoes, and meet me outside." Kaname says heading out of your room.

"Sure!", Natsuru said, enthusiastically. Once her dad was out of her room, though, she first proceeded to get changed, as a kimono was not appropriate for baseball. Instead, she put on a light white blouse and a long, navy blue skirt, with a pair of white basket shoes. She tied her hair in a ponytail going down in her back, as she grabbed her glove and headed out. She wished things wouldn't change too much with her parents, when she'd tell them everything... She hoped they'd understand that despite how much she had changed, she was still mostly the same as far as her mind was concerned.
Letting out a small sigh, she went outside the house, putting on a smile. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2 stones into Agility to get dressed for playing ball a bit, and head out.

You walk outside when you hear a crash as Kaname is hurled against a wall by an unknown force, she cries out in pain, and grabs her limp shoulder.
"YOU!!!" a redhead in a red spiked costume snarls floating down towards you with the aura of a flaming bird. "YOU KILLED UNION JACK, YOU KILLED PETE WISDOM!!! YOU'RE GONNA PAY!!!"

"!! ...DAD!", Natsuru screamed, as she ran outside, to see Kaname hurt against the wall.
"YOU!!! YOU KILLED UNION JACK, YOU KILLED PETE WISDOM!!! YOU'RE GONNA PAY!!!"
The blue-haired girl looked at the woman in red, instantly remembering where she had last seen her. A member of Excalibur... She stood in between her and Kaname, her arms raised in defense of her father.
"...You're right... I did not intend to kill them, but I did. I should have come back... I should have saved them. And I know it won't change anything to your anger... but for what it's worth, I feel horribly sorry about it, and I wish things had been different. But what about you? You're a heroine, aren't you? ...Attacking innocent people not even involved in this?... Do not commit the same damn mistake I did!"
She put her cellphone in the baseball glove she had been holding, and threw it next to her dad.
"Dad... if you can move, get yourself to safety. If you can't, use my phone and call for help. I'm going with this lady where we won't hurt anybody." She looked at Phoenix II: "Come on... please. Follow me!"
Using her powers, she took flight, heading outside the city. She had little doubt the other girl would follow her. She only hoped she could convince her she was truly sorry and was definitely trying to make up for her mistakes, but she knew very well it might not be enough to do so. The girl had lost friends and teammates, after all. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start H: 7/7 P.L: 4/4 E: 30/30 P.L: 12/12
1 stone into Power level for an additional action;
12 stones (Ef.) into Newkama Kenpo plus 3 from Optimum Talent, plus 5 from Lord of the Scourge; 15 into defense, 5 into protecting dad as well.
5 stones into Social Skills (Kind-hearted) +2 from Attractive, to try and make her realize that she's only after me and no one else, and that if she attacks innocent people to get to me, she'd be no better than the one who killed her friends to get to the Helm of Domination. Also convincing her to follow me so we can set things right away from said innocents.
8 stones into God-Like Powers, to fly away from the city, to bring her out in an open space where we can 'talk' without hurting anyone.
End E: 16/30 P.L: 4/12 Defense: 30 (5 Ref.Dodge, 9 Toughness [No AP], 1 Power Level, 15 actions), 32 VS Close Combat attacks (2 Flexible Skeleton) Mental Defense: 15 (7 Intelligence, 8 Mental Defense) Ki Defense +6 Fire/Heat Defense +7 Magical Defense +6 Immune to Cold, Normal Diseases and Poisons

You try to fly away only for Phoenix to slam you to the ground with Telekinesis "NO!!! You will not run from me! I will destroy you!"

Natsuru
"...Running away? ...Don't be ridiculous", Natsuru said coldly as she stood back up slowly, staring at her. "I understand your rage, and your desire to avenge your fallen companions. But I will not allow you to fight where you could kill innocents by accident... I will not allow you to commit the same sin I did!"
She transformed into her Kämpfer form, becoming slightly taller, curvier and much more powerful. Clenching her fists, she said:
"If you're not gonna follow me outside the city... I guess You'll have to lead the way!"
She suddenly held out her hand towards her, and a powerful wind funnel manifested itself, centered on the girl, with the one intent of projecting her into the sky with incredible force, at which point Natsuru followed, flying after her with a pale blue aura around her body! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Start H: 7/7 P.L: 4/4 E: 30/30 P.L: 12/12
Transforming into Kämpfer form;
1 stone into Power level for an additional action;
16 stones (Ef.) into Shamanic Powers (Create/Manipulate weather) plus 3 from Optimum Talent, plus 5 from Lord of the Scourge, into a 24 stones entirely meant to create a powerful funnel of wind which will grab the girl and throw her powerfully far into the sky towards the exterior of the city. Once she's in the sky, I figure I can draw her there myself by joining her there and leading the fight outside...
8 stones into God-Like Powers, to follow her in the sky so she can focus on me and not risk killing people around in a fit of rage.
9 stones (Ef.) into Newkama Kenpo plus 3 from O.T, plus 5 from L.o.S; all into defense.
End H: 10/10 P.L: 4/4 E: 33/54 P.L: 4/12 Defense: 39 (9 Ref.Dodge, 12 Toughness [No AP], 1 Power Level, 17 actions), 41 VS Close Combat attacks (2 Flexible Skeleton) Mental Defense: 16 (7 Intelligence, 9 Mental Defense) Ki Defense +6 Fire/Heat Defense +7 Magical Defense +6 Immune to Cold, Normal Diseases and Poisons

You try to transform to Kampfer form, but for some reason it does not work.
You hurl her into the sky with your vortex. Following her as best you can with her powers. Meanwhile a powerful psychic bolt strikes you in the head like a sledgehammer to the head. (OOC: Lose 1w)
